      I noticed this, too! His singing range is pretty high, but in this interview, you hear him falling into a sort of male ‘vocal fry’-a kind of lowest-energy bass register.

    I have to disagree with some of the earlier comments. I didn't get the impression that they were being pretentious/hipsters.
    Regarding the yoga response: they're not hating on commoditization of yoga for the sake of being hipsters. They're just stating a fact--yoga has become a commodity. Yoga originated thousands of years ago as a spiritual practice as part of a lifestyle that was supposed to align body and mind, etc. Nowadays it is literally a branded product: Bikram Yoga, for example, is quite aggressive about enforcing its copyrights and trademarks. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Making money is awesome! but yoga has changed ("diluted" in this case), and VW is correct to point that out as part of their answer.
    Regarding everything else: non-branded Munchkins, existential crises over the meaning of suntan lotion...I see that as the guys trying to be precise about their responses, not being pretentious.
    Such a fun interview :D

    "Along with the more lived-in sonics, Modern Vampires has the band taking a leap forward into emotional directness. Koenig and Batmanglij truly seem of one mind here, as the vocals and music interact with each other in an effortless flow. While skronks and snares pop on "Diane Young", the singer matches the live-fast intensity hit-for-hit. The song is a dissection of the 27 Club rock'n'roll myth, where Koenig's voice on the sly "baby, baby, baby" bridge is manipulated to intoxicating effect."

    • @hojunyu7546
      @hojunyu7546 Před 10 lety +32

      I gotta be honest with ya, that's some terrible deductive reasoning. Don't get me wrong though, they are indeed intelligent (not because of the prestige you get from being a Lion) and I admire them. But at the same time, you don't really have to be smart to go to an Ivy League school (trust me, I know how college admission works... after months of researching and ended up applying to 21 colleges. Also, as an international student living in the U.S., I had to do more research on information regarding financial aid because it's complicated for low-income internationals living in America). As long as you have strong work ethics (which I actually think is more valuable than just being smart), Ivy Leagues aren't impossible (besides, if you're going to an Ivy League just for its name value, I don't even know what to tell you. You don't go to college to get a job, you go to college to pursue your academic interests and perhaps discover new fields). What about Will Butler (Northwestern)? Victoria Legrand (Vassar)? Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser (Wesleyan)? Yannis Philippakis and Edwin Congreave (Oxford)? There are so many intelligent musicians (including Vampire Weekend) who don't need the prestige of their colleges to prove their intelligence.
